| Solid Silver rca's for tube amps I use the PS Audio Transcendent silver solid core I.C. and Slinky Links silver speaker cable with my Coincident tube amp and linestage. The sound is exceptionally open,transparent and with a slight overall warmth and full texured tonality. | |
| Where do you buy good CD recordings? HiAnother vote for Amazon music.com very good selection of most types of music, reviews, the ability to sample on site and very reasonable pricing new or used. | |

| Shindo and Coincident Hi DasHave you heard the frankensteins yet? Israel knows what he is doing I would think those amps could be magical with your speakers. If they can drive the TV4 and the Pure reference full range with utter ease why not theTE2. | |
| Anyone Try First Watt amp with Total Victory IV Hi Abill Currently there are two used Coincident 300b amps available on audiogon that would be splendid with your TV1V.Those are very highly regarded by the way. | |
| How good is the coincident frankenstein mark 2 amp Just curious Byfo,Montejay and Pechtm did you all consider or compare other SET amps before selecting the frankensteins. I had nearly chosen the dehavilland 845 amp prior to finally picking the franks. | |
| How good is the coincident frankenstein mark 2 amp Byfo and Montejay thanks for you input. Montejay it is nice to know that after a year of ownership you are still amazed with the performance of these amplifiers.
